    Well there's the Eliasberg specimen.

    I'd rather have the much lower-grade (PR04) Hallie Dagget "Ice Cream" specimen, though. Just because of the story behind it. Even if the story is apocryphal.

    ... I’d buy something else.

    But these are still a cool American rarity.

    Reminds me of this


    The sad part is there are some better dates S dimes in the 1890's

    Honestly as much as I love San Fran coins that 1794 silver dollar plus a 1916-C and 1908-C sovereigns may just be my picks

    If I had a million dollars?

    Sure, I’d buy some nice coins with whatever might be left over, but I would not spend the bulk of the money on coins at all, really- let alone any million-dollar coins!

    Nope, I’d buy me a modest but comfy cabin in the woods by a lake, a basic reliable small SUV like a Honda CRV for daily driving, a vintage Olds 442 convertible and a garage to put it in, and then I’d spend whatever was left on coins, after making sure my daughter’s college loans were paid off, of course.

    If you have a million dollars to spend on a dime- or any other tiny, round chunk of metal, for that matter- then you have way too dang much money, in my humble opinion.

    But OK, after I bought all the stuff mentioned above, what kind of coins would I get with the leftovers?

    Some Roman aurei, probably. At least one from the Boscoreale Hoard, like this one.

    (Yes, @AncientJoe - I'm showing it off for you again.) ;)

    In the US stuff, an octagonal Pan-Pac $50.

    If I were to offer a swap for my 1804 Silver Dollar, could I get change in the bargain?

    Okay, I actually caved in and watched the video.

    Looked like 1896 to me. A real, real shame about the scrubbing.

    Got my first speeding ticket in the Old Man's Olds (RIP, Pop). Wonder where that car is now? :(

    Dang, I'd expect them to clock that at 60 or 70 when it was sitting at a red light...

    Yup - it would definitely move. He sold it to help pay for my college. A truly selfless and extraordinary man who I miss every day. At least I have his coins (he was a dedicated and smart collector) to connect with. Life is short...

    Oh yeah. That's what I'm talkin' about. I think I'd go for one in dark green.
